This idea that Texas is the great hope is a bit over blown I belive.

Oh really?

For the ninth consecutive election, every single elected state office holder from US Senator and Governor down to Agriculture and Railroad Commissioner has been a Republican. We've gone Republican every Presidential election since 1980, and we can't keep the Californians and the Yankees out as they are fleeing here like geese. Even those libertarian venture capitalists who are starting their own colony down in Belize are copying Texas business law as their model.

I challenge anyone else to name some place better.

Correction, it's Honduras, not Belize:

The laws in the city will be separate from those in the rest of Honduras. Strong said that the default law that will be enforced in the city will actually be based on Texas state law, which has relatively few regulations.

“It will be Texas law with more freedom of contract. Texas scores well on state economic freedom rankings,” he explained.

May I add that Texans, Gond bless them, will do very well to not be like the country as a whole an dprotect what they have. It is under threat, as a consequence of the state’s success.

Californians, not to mention Mexicans (illegals) and that awful charismatic good for nothing mayor of San Antonio. don’t take it for granted, oh Great State of Texas, land of:

The Texas Rangers
Houston (NASA Base)
Cowboys
The Cowboys
Stevie Ray Vaughan

Just getting started

Texas is making the same mistakes California made with respect to illegal immigration.

Sanctuary cities:

Austin, Texas
Baytown, Texas
Brownsville, Texas
Channelview, Texas
Denton, Texas
Dallas, Texas
El Cenizo, Texas
Ft. Worth, Texas
Houston, Texas (1992)
Katy, Texas
Laredo, Texas
League City, Texas
Mcallen, Texas
Port Arthur, Texas
San Antonio, Texas

What is the status of Texas' anti sanctuary cities bill? I believe it died.
